Densities and Speeds of Sound of Jatropha curcas Biodiesel + (C-4-C-5) Alkan-1-ol Binary Mixtures
Densities (rho(mix)) and speeds of sound (u(mix)) for binary blends of Jatropluz curcas biodiesel (1) + n-butanol or n-pentanol (2) were measured at T = (288.15 to 308.15) K and atmospheric pressure, over the entire composition range, with the help of a density and sound velocity meter (DSA 5000 M, Anton Pan). The density values were used to evaluate the excess molar volumes V-mix(E). The Redlich-Kister polynomial equation was adopted to compute and correlate the results, and a good agreement has been observed between experimental and calculated values. It has been observed that the rho and u values of pure components and their binary blends decreased with respect to temperature. Further, results have been analyzed in terms of molecular forces functioning between biodiesel and alcohols.
